I am currently the drummer of Wax Owls and Witherfall but I have toured with many other artists such as Forest Blakk. I love tracking drums at my studio, and with 20 years of recoding experience and a keen ear for what a song needs, I can deliver professional drum tracks with solid feel, interesting parts and textures, and tons of vibe.

I am originally from New Jersey, but I currently reside in Los Angeles where I have been a full time studio and touring drummer for the last 7 years.

I am a founding member of the folk-indie band Wax Owls with singer-guitarist Gerry Hirschfeld (ex-The Reflectacles, ex-Willie Nelson) and a touring and recording member of the progressive metal band Witherfall. The band features Jake Dreyer (ex-Iced Earth), Joseph Michael (Sanctuary), and Anthony Crawford (Allan Holdsworth, Justin Timberlake).

My music has been featured on KCSN and CKJM, as well as the in-store playlist at Starbucks, and feature films and TV such as What She Said and Grey's Anatomy. I have performed on countless tours and festivals including Bonaroo, Pilgrimage, ProgPower, PeachFest, and more.

Before moving to LA, I was a founding member of the Republic/Universal band Fancy Reagan, and live drummer for Republic/Universal artist Viv and The Revival. Fancy Reagan's single "Knock Me Out" was included on the "NOW That's What I Call Music! 53" CD which sold over 450,000 units and was featured in a promo for NCAA March Madness on TNT and ESPN as the intro song to the 2015 ESPYS.

I love the process of creating, and connecting with new musicians. I always try to serve the song, and put every once of energy and emotion into whatever music I'm making. I look forward to working on your tracks.
